Replacing old windows involves more than choosing a new product. The fit, preparation, and installation all play a part in how your Andersen windows look and perform once they’re in place.
Legacy Window & Door helps Elmwood homeowners through each part of the process, from measuring the existing openings and comparing Andersen options to preparing the space and installing the new windows. With the right window and careful installation, you can update the look of your home while improving comfort and energy efficiency.
Andersen windows come in a variety of styles, materials, finishes, and configurations. Depending on your home and the existing opening, you may be looking at casement, gliding, picture, double-hung, or other replacement windows.
There are also plenty of ways to customize the finished look. Interior and exterior colors, hardware, glass options, trim, and grille patterns can all change how a new window looks from inside and outside the house.
If you’re replacing several windows, it can be helpful to consider how the different styles will work together. Legacy can help you compare Andersen products and find options that suit the home’s design, your budget, and the way you use each room.
There are two common approaches to window replacement, and the existing window will help determine which one makes sense.
One of our professional installers can look at the current windows and explain which installation method is appropriate for your home.
Choosing among different Andersen windows can get complicated when you're comparing styles, materials, glass packages, and finishes. Legacy can answer your questions and help you narrow down the options.

Legacy provides both window and door services, making it possible to discuss replacement windows, patio doors, and other door projects with the same company.

Skyline Imaging has been expeditious and professional from start to finish. Dillon Pigsley was super pleasant to work with throughout the claim process and scheduled services. Roofers were there early and gone before 4:30pm. Roof looks great and the property was cleaned up very well.

Dillon and Khalil were great to work with. They worked closely with our insurance company & kept us informed throughout the process. We had an issue with the roof install that needed to be addressed and Skyline Imaging worked with us to make sure we were happy with the finished product. I would definitely recommend working with these guys!

Andersen offers several styles, including casement, gliding, picture, and double-hung windows. The right option depends on the existing opening, how you want the window to operate, and the look you’re after.
Proper installation helps the window sit securely in the opening and operate as intended. Careful shimming, fastening, insulation, flashing, and sealing can also help prevent air and water infiltration.
The process can include measuring the opening, removing the existing window, inspecting and preparing the opening, installing the new window, and completing the necessary insulation and sealing. The finished window is also checked for proper operation.
It depends on the condition of your existing window frame and opening. Full-frame replacement provides access to the entire opening, while insert replacement keeps the existing frame and trim in place.
Andersen offers energy-efficient products with features such as Low-E glass and multi-pane designs. The final energy performance also depends on the installation and how well the window is insulated and sealed.
Replacing older windows can reduce drafts and unwanted heat transfer, particularly when the existing windows have worn seals or poor insulation. The amount of energy savings will depend on the condition of the original windows and the replacement products selected.
Yes. Andersen offers patio doors in several configurations, including sliding and gliding styles. These can be considered alongside new windows when you’re planning several exterior upgrades.
Yes. Combining window replacement with door replacement can allow you to coordinate styles, finishes, and installation scheduling. Legacy can discuss both types of work during the planning stage.
The cost varies based on the window type, size, material, glass package, installation method, labor, and condition of the existing opening. A project-specific estimate will give you a more useful idea of what your replacement windows will cost.
The timeline depends on the number and type of windows and how much preparation the openings require. Insert replacements can generally involve less work than full-frame installations, while larger or more complicated projects can take longer.
Many Andersen products offer choices in size, style, color, hardware, glass, and other details. Custom options can be especially useful when a standard replacement window doesn’t suit the existing opening or the home’s design.
Legacy Window & Door serves customers throughout Nebraska and Iowa, including the Omaha and Lincoln areas. Contact the team to confirm service availability for your location.
Clear furniture, curtains, blinds, and other items away from the windows so the installers have room to work inside the home. You can also use this time to bring up questions about trim, finishes, operation, or the installation process.
